Under the Private Education Act, enacted in December 2009, the Council for Private Education was established to regulate the private education industry in Singapore. On 3 October 2016, the Committee for Private Education became part of the newly formed statutory board, SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG). Since then, SSG has overseen the private education sector, carrying out functions and governance duties under the Private Education Act of 2009.

Effective 1 October 2024, SSG will assume direct responsibility for exercising the functions and powers outlined in the Private Education Act of 2009 and its subsidiary legislation. All Private Education Institutions (PEIs) must comply with the regulations under the Act to continue their operations.

KLC International Institute has achieved a 4-year EduTrust status effective from 3 December 2023 – 2 December 2027.

PEI-Student Contract

PEI Registration with SkillsFuture Singapore Agency (SSG), in aiming to enhance the confidence of students and their parents in the quality of education in Singapore, has stipulated that all PEIs must sign a PEI-Student Contract with students. The contract lays out the important terms and conditions governing the relationship between the student and KLC International Institute. KLC International Institute will execute a student contract for every course unless the course is less than 30 days or 50 hours in duration. We will honour all terms and conditions spelt out in all contracts issued and in all communication materials.

Students may request a copy of the PEI-Student Contract from KLC International Institute.

KLCII will provide the Student with a cooling-off period of 10 calendar days starting from the student contract signing date.

The Student will be refunded the highest percentage in refund table (Schedule D) stated in the student contract of the fees already paid if the Student submits a written notice of withdrawal to KLCII within the cooling-off period, regardless of whether the Student has started the course or not.

KLC International Institute has put in place a Fee Protection Scheme (FPS) to protect the paid fees of both local and international students. FPS protects students’ fees in the event that a PEI is unable to continue operating due to insolvency, and/or closure, as well as if a PEI is unable to pay a judgement sum due to a student.

KLC International Institute has appointed Liberty Insurance as our FPS insurance provider. Under the FPS insurance scheme, students’ fees are insured by Liberty Insurance. In case of events, as stated above, students will be able to claim their paid fees from Liberty Insurance. The insurance coverage for students commences from the fee payment date and covers the course duration the fee is paid for or till the course end date.
